Newbie Mac OS X problems

Ad 1. What did you already try? Did you follow the manual and/or our wiki?

Ad 2. You're probably missing debug version of the libraries. That's nothing wrong unless you want to debug Qt code with a debugger.

I managed to compile qmysql plugin, but I don't know where should I put it?
I fail to find Qt's plugin directory.

I *believe* that would solve my problem?

[wysota]

Where did you look for it?

[Vnuce]

/usr and subfolders, /Library and subfolders, /Developer and subfolders...
Nothing that looks like the right place to put mysql plugin in...

[Vnuce]

Where did you look for it?

I found where the other SQL drivers are... I put the mysql driver there, but still no luck
Should I do something to make it load it?

[wysota]

No, if you placed your driver in plugins/sqldrivers, this should be enough (just remember to instantiate a Q(Core)Application object as this is the place where plugins are loaded).

[Vnuce]

No, if you placed your driver in plugins/sqldrivers, this should be enough (just remember to instantiate a Q(Core)Application object as this is the place where plugins are loaded).

I thought it should be enough, too... but, it doesn't work
The QApplication object is initialized, that's for sure. The application works, on Linux, at least. I just can't get it to load the MySql driver on OSX.

[wysota]

Do you have MySql client libraries installed? Run ldd on the driver and see if it can see all its dependencies.

[Vnuce]

Yes, I have MySql libs installed.
I recompiled the driver, and it worked. It could be the location of the MySql libs, or maybe that I updated to 10.6.1 (along with XCode), or something completely different... The important thing is that it worked

Thanks for keeping me on the right track
